The Hobart Hurricanes have a chance to secure the top spot in the finals when they take on the Brisbane Heat, who are fighting to stay in the competition. The Hurricanes have already secured a top four finish and could potentially play all their remaining matches in Tasmania if they win at Ninja Stadium.
For the Heat, the road to the finals is more challenging as they need to win both of their remaining games to secure a spot. The inclusion of Australian Test star Michael Neser is a boost for the Heat, who have trimmed their squad to just 13 players by omitting Colin Munro and Oli Patterson.
The Hurricanes will welcome back captain Nathan Ellis after he was rested in the last match, with reserve batter Charlie Wakim making way for him. The bat flip will occur at 6:30pm AEDT, with the first ball set to be bowled at 7:15pm local time.
The Hurricanes’ 14-man squad includes players like Ben McDermott, Chris Jordan, and Matthew Wade, while the Heat’s 13-man squad features Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, and Jimmy Peirson.
